About Fast Lane Foundation

Fast Lane Foundation is a 100% volunteer-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization built on one simple belief: every child deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. Based in the heart of Fairfield and Perry counties, we work to make sure local youth and families have the resources, funding, and community support they need to thrive. From school supplies and youth sports equipment to grants for local organizations and families in need, we move fast because the need is always real.

Where It All Started

Fast Lane Foundation was not built in a boardroom. It started with a golf outing and a community that showed up.

In 2020, we organized the Karing4Kris Golf Outing to support a member of our community, Kris Collins, during her battle with stage 4 lung cancer. Over 500 golfers, volunteers, and donors came out that day. The outpouring of love and generosity from Fairfield and Perry County was unlike anything we had seen. Story after story poured in about how that single day had impacted people, and we kept hearing the same question: can we do this again?

We lost Kris in October 2020. But her spirit, and the community she inspired, did not go anywhere. Fast Lane Foundation was officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) at the end of 2020 to carry that spirit forward. What started as one event for one family has grown into a foundation that has raised over $300,000 for local youth, families, and organizations across Fairfield and Perry County.

Why Fast Lane?

The name says it all. We take pride in being fast movers. When a need arises in our community, we do not wait around. We act. Whether it is responding to a family in crisis, funding a youth program, or helping a local school, Fast Lane Foundation is built to respond quickly and give generously.


We also believe that light brings lightness. Everything we do is designed to bring a little more brightness into the lives of the kids and families we serve.

We are neighbors, business owners, parents, and community members who believe that showing up for each other is what makes a community strong. Our leadership team is made up of dedicated individuals who give their time, energy, and resources because they genuinely care about Fairfield and Perry counties.
